The Christmas lights and store front decorations were truly magnificent.

to & from

There are direct flights from multiple US cities. We flew Delta direct from Atlanta, Georgia. Once in Madrid, it was very easy to get a cab to our hotel

While in Madrid, it is so easy to get around by walking, using the Metro or, if preferred, an Uber. The Metro was incredibly clean, easy to use, and accessible.
We used the CityMapper App to help us navigate the Metro system. Additionally, we walked A LOT!! Very safe city to walk around!

Where to Stay

I cannot recommend the JW Marriott, in City Center more. The staff was incredibly attentive, the rooms were beautiful and it is nestled conveniently near the neighborhoods of Salamanca, Malasana, and La Latina.
